<br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />• <br />TO: Richard Hare, Assistant City Manager DATE: August 21, 1986 <br />FROM: Bert Clark, Parks Superintendent <br />SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF AIR CONDITIONING UNIT <br />The air conditioning heating unit at Evelyn Kennedy Civic Center that <br />needs replacing is a ten (10) ton Tappan Model RTA-120-30031-C. <br />Determining the exact period of time that unit has been in service is <br />impossible, there is no available documentation concerning purchase or <br />installation. However, we have been able to ascertain that the unit <br />has been in service a minimum of ten (10) years. <br />Moore Refrigeration and Barretts Air Conditioning have both inspected <br />the existing Tappan unit and have found that the two (2) compressors <br />are irrepairable and must be replaced at a cost of $1,000.00 each. The <br />coils are contaminated with burnt oil and freon which although could be <br />flushed at a cost of $600.00, would still not place the unit in a status <br />that could be considered reliable. Currently we have $6,500 in the <br />contingency account 001-607-607-900 available for replacement of the unit. <br />Bids were taken on a ten (10) ton heat pump unit. The bid invitations <br />were mailed to six (6) different firms. We received five (5) bids. <br />The low bidder was Barretts Air Conditioning for $6,324.00 with a 2~ <br />discount for prompt payment. It is anticipated that the installation <br />will be accomplished within five (5) days. I recommend we accept low bid. <br />If you should have any questions, please call me. <br />BC/lw <br />
